SWEEPING FASCISTI VICTORY
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Keuter's Telegrams.)
LONDON April 7.
Messages‘from Rome indicate a sweeping Fascrsti victory in yesterday’s Parliamentary elections. This is almost a foregone conclusion owing to the new electoral law assigning at" least twothirds of the total seats to the party obtaining the largest number of votes. Disturbances occurred at Bari, Ovigr,o, and Naples, but were not serious.
An interesting chart exhibited in the Oddfellows’ Hall at the conference of the New Zealand branch Manchester Unity Oddfellow j shows the rise and fall of the membership in the Auckland district which operates throughout the Auckland Province. The chart shows that the total membership in 1913 was 4200, Tlirough the secession of a Lodge of over 600 members and the loss sustained through the Great War, together with the fact that members were not admitted to the Society during the war period, tho“membership dropped to 3000 in 1918. From that period a steady increase was maintained and at the end of 1923 the membership stood at over 4700.
